Sure--I will...

...as I grow tired of reading all the anti-gun propaganda posted by the anti-gun zealots. Those of you in Canada--please stay there, BTW, and there are a few here in the US that should be moving as soon as the border re-opens.

If I choose to keep an unsecured, loaded firearm in my home, that is my legal right, and none of your business. Quite honestly, unless invited in, you have no business being in my home, or even on my property, for that matter.

As for the incident with the juveniles in FL, lets talk about the facts. Two convicted juvenile criminals escaped from an inadequately secured juvenile detention/rehabilitation facility, evaded law enforcement, burglarized a secured home, discovered unsecured weapons, and then unlawfully utilized them against law enforcement officers. Two juvenile criminals committing an entire string of further crimes. They didn't escape looking for guns. They didn't choose to break into that specific home with any knowledge that there would be a firearm present. No one was standing there with a gun to their heads, instructing them to fire upon law enforcement. They were just criminals doing what criminals do. How is any of this the gun-owner's fault?

As for gun owners being dishonest for not immediately reporting stolen firearms--that is totally ridiculous. I have a healthy collection of firearms, but I don't inventory them every day. A lot of stolen firearms are not discovered to be missing until the cops come knocking on the door.

People buy (or inherit) firearms (especially handguns), put them in a box and stash them in a closet, desk or dresser drawer, and never look at them--sometimes for years. Obviously, these firearms were legally registered, because the cops knew where to look for the registered owner, but when the owner went to retrieve it from storage, it wasn't there.

Typically, these firearms are stolen by a family member or close friend that has knowledge of their whereabouts (and an addiction issue), and the owner has no idea that they are missing. Unless you exercise your right to carry, or otherwise regularly handle your firearms, you wouldn't know it is missing. It's not like when someone steals your car or TV--you'll tend to notice that immediately.

Punish people for not securing their firearms in their own homes?--LOL. The "excuse" being that so kids can't get to them. I grew up in a home with unsecured firearms. My daughters grew up in a home with unsecured firearms. No one is proposing that parents be locked-up or fined for not securing their prescription pharmaceuticals, household cleaning chemicals, or lawn and pool chemicals. Those poisonings and/or fatalities are just "tragic accidents".

Basic cause of 90+% of ALL "issues" in society, these days--poor parenting--or lack of any at all. Those 12 and 14-year olds in FL were already convicted criminals--how?, why?
